SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 545,783, datedSeptember 3, 1895.

Application tiled August 18,1894` Serial No. 520,682. (No model.)

To all whom tm/ay concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. DREssL'ER, of New York city, in thecounty and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedGas-Burner, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The invention relates to gas-burners such as shown and described inLetters Patent of the United States No. 457,153, granted to L.

H. Friedburg on the date of August 4, 1891.

The obj ect of the invention is to provide a new and improved gas-burnermore especially designed for heating purposes and arranged to permit theuser to turn the burner into any desired position to allow of using theburner in connection with'a blow-pipe and also for other purposes.

The invention consists in certain parts and details and combinations ofthe same, as will be hereinafter fully described, and then pointed outin the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis, specilication, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a perspective view of the improvement. Fig. 2 is an enlargedsectional side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a similar view of amodified form of the same. Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional sideelevation of the support for vessels. Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectionalside elevation of the burner-tip. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of thesame, and Fig? is a perspective view of amodiiiedt'orm of theimprovement. i

The improved gas-burner is provided with a base A, carrying theupwardly-extending lugs A and A2, of which the lug A is apertured andforms a bearing for the gas-supply pipe B, connected at its outer endwitha suitable source of gas-supply and at its inner end is secured inthe closed bottom C of a casing C, preferably made cylindrical in shapeand open at Vthe top. l

In the bottomC and centrally therein is secured a burner-tip D,connected at its lower end by an opening C2 with the inner end of thegas-supply pipe B, so that gas can freely pass into the tip to escapethrough the slot D thereof to be burned in the usual manner. The slotD', as illustrated in Fig. 5, is cut by a circular saw, so that thelength of the slot is less than the interior diameter of the tip tocause an accumulation` of gas within the tip, so that an ample supply ofgasis always obtained at the slot D to insure a steady burning of thegas and a uniform iiame, especially when turned low.

Centrally arranged within lthe casing C and surrounding the tip D is thetube E, provided at its upper end with an apertured cap F, secured on asleeve G, titted to slide vertically on the casin g C, so that onraising or lowering the sleeve G the tube E is likewise raised orlowered and its lower end correspondingly adjusted relative to the tipD.

It will be seen that bythe arrangement described the casing C, with thetip D, tube E, and adjustable sleeve (i, can be swung into an inclinedposition, either to the right or left, as indicated in dotted lines inFig. l, so that the dame emanating from the upper end of the tube E canbe used, in connection with a blow-pipe, to bring the flame to thedesired object.

In order to hold the casing C and the parts carried thereby in aninclined position, I pron vide a coil-spring H, set in a recess in thelug A2 and engaging a recess in the bottom C', directly lopposite and inValignment with the pipe B, so that the spring H not only presses thecasing against the inner face of the lug A to hold the casing inposition, but also serves as an auxiliary pivot for the said casing inaddition to the pipe B.

As shown in Fig. 3, the spring His dispensed with and instead a pointedlscrew I is employed, screwing in the lug A2 and engaging a conicalrecess in the bottom C. By screwing up the screw I sufficient frictionis obtained to securely hold the casing C and its contents in aninclined position.

As illustrated in Fig. 7, the burner, instead of being directly pivotedin the base A, Vis pivoted on pairs of connected links W, pivoted on thebase A, so that the burner can be raised or lowered or extended sidewiseand turned into a desired position on the upper links. The pivots of thelinks are sufficiently tight to hold the said links in the position'towhich they are moved. The supply-pipe B forms one of the pivots, thesame as in the, other forms described, and the burner is held inposition either by a spring, as shown in IOD Fig. 2, or by a set screw,as shown in Fig 3. Although I have shown and described the form ofburnet` for which the'previously-mentioned Letters Patent have beengranted, it is evident that the device can be readily applied on anykind of Bunsen burner. The base A also supports a stand comprising aseries of upwardly-extending rods J,engag ing with their upper endsapertures K, formed in the tlange K2 of a support K, adapted to form aresting-place for vessels and other articles to be heated from the flameemanating from the tube E at the time the Acasing C is in a verticalposition. The upper ends of the rods J are formed with recesses or cutsJ', adapted to engage the thin metal forming the iiange Ki, to securelyconnect the said iiange with the rods, as plainly indicated in Fig. 4.

It is understood that the rods .T are of a springy material, so as toreadily bend outward to engage with their slots J the said flange K2,whereby the support K is firmly held on the upper ends of the rods J.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patentl. Agasburner, comprisingabase provided with oppositesupports on itsupper surface, one ofthe said supports being providedwith an opening, and a cylindrical burner provided at its lower end witha supply pipe projecting at right angles therefrom, the burner beingarrangedy between the supports with the supply pipe projecting throughthe opening of the said support and forming a pivot by which the burneris pivoted, whereby the burner can be held in avertical or inclinedposition, substantially as described,

2. A gas burner, comprising a base provided with opposite supports onits upper surface, one of the said supports being provided with anopening, a cylindrical burner provided at its lower end with a supplypipe projecting at right angles therefrom, the burner being arrangedbetween the supports with the supply pipe projecting through the openingof the support, and by which the burner is pivoted, and a tension devicearranged in the opposite support and engaging the burner to hold it inthe position into which it is moved, substantially as described.

3. Agas burner, comprising a base provided with opposite lugs, linkspivoted to the lugs, and a burner having its lower end pivoted to andbetween the links, substantially as described.

4. A gas burner, comprising abase provided with opposite lugs, a pair oflinks pivoted to the lugs, a second pair of links pivoted to the firstnamed links, and a burner having its lower end pivoted between thesecond pair of links, substantially asvdescribod.

5. A gas burner comprising a base provided with upwardly projecting andopposite lugs, a pair of links pivoted to the lugs, a second pair oflinks pivoted tothe first pair of'links, one of the second pair of linksbeing provided with an opening, and a burner provided with a supply pipeprojecting at right angles therefrom and working in the opening of thelink and by which the burner is pivoted to and between the second pairof links, substantially as described.

6. A gas burner, comprising spaced supports, a burner having a centraiburner tip, a supply pipe projecting from the lower end of the burnerthrough an aperture in one of the supports, whereby the burner ispivoted between the supports, and a spring in recesses in the base ofthe burner and one of the said supports, substantially as shown anddescribed.

7. A gas'burner, comprising a casing provided With a bottom having alateral opening, a tip secured in the center of the base and with whichthe lateral opening thereof communicates, a supply pipe secured in thelateral opening of the base of the casing, and a tube adjustable on thecasingand projecting down into the casing and around the tip,substantially as described.

8. In a gas burner, a base, vertical rods secured to the base and havingtheir upper ends recessed on one side, and a support provided withopenings to receive the upper ends of the said rods the recesses ofwhich engage the support, substantially as described.
